TAKING SNOW DAY PHOTOS LIKE YOU’RE IN A CATALOG.
Follow us for more deep dives into our shared traditions!
Winter at our institutions isn't just about bundling up for class or battling icy sidewalks. For many, it's about embracing a very specific, almost theatrical, campus ritual: the snow day photo shoot. You know the one. Suddenly, everyone transforms into a model from a winter catalog. Out come the perfectly coordinated beanies, the stylish scarves, the steaming mugs of artisanal coffee held just so, strategically placed against a backdrop of historic stone buildings draped in fresh powder.
It’s an unspoken contest, isn't it? Who can capture that perfectly serene, academically idyllic moment? The pristine snow, undisturbed save for a single set of artfully composed footprints. We might chuckle at the self-awareness, the sheer effort behind these seemingly effortless shots. Yet, there’s an undeniable charm to it. It’s a collective nod to the beauty of our unique environments, a brief pause from the intellectual grind to appreciate the postcard-perfect reality we inhabit.
These weather-based traditions, like the primal screams or the more esoteric rituals, are part of the fabric that weaves us together. They’re the shared experiences, sometimes loved, sometimes endured, that define our time here. The snow day catalog shot, in its own whimsical way, captures a quieter piece of that magic, a moment of beauty before diving back into the library or lab. It’s a memory, frozen in time, that many of us carry long after graduation, a reminder of those picturesque, often challenging, but always unforgettable years.
